Patch 2.2.3 is being deployed in Europe, 2.3 isn't on PTRs yet, blue posts aren't really interesting, and there isn't any WotLK Beta. (I heard a lot of mails were sent again yesterday, they're fake and you will end up losing your account). There was a few changes to the item tooltips code on the site, if you can't see the tooltip on this : [item=35001] please report in comments (the icon is missing on purpose). Stay tuned for the 2.3.
Patch Mirrors
As usual, I downloaded the patch from the downloader and it should be fairly safe, but of course you should use Blizzard Downloader if you think it's safer.

Caster meta-gem in 2.3
[blizzquote="Cerunya;http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=1153026858&pageNo=1&sid=3#2]The new caster metagem will increase the spell critical rating by 12 and the critical strike damage by 3%. Keep in mind that it still can change.[/blizzquote"]
Engineering flying mount upgradeable
You will have to buy the normal flying mount before you can upgrade it to epic, and it will look great.
[blizzquote="Drysc;http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=2215494583&postId=22876443219&sid=1#59]You'll first have to create the non-epic, and then upgrade it to the epic version. I think we planned the mats to be around 500g in total once you complete the epic version, but I could be wrong on that. It's worth it though. I wish I had an engineer after getting to see it. Hands down, in my opinion, the best flying mount in the game.[/blizzquote"]
2.3 PTR Wars : A New Hope
Something to replace the old Dalaran ?
At least it shouldn't change too much, Kirin Tor is still in charge. (This was in a fairly humoristic post though, but it's not like it gives tons of information)
[blizzquote="Bornakk;http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=2288019758&postId=22876442769&sid=1#8]The land that Dalaran currently resides on is still claimed by the Kirin Tor and they have announced that it is not for sale.[/blizzquote"]
No other zones revamped
Dustwallow Marsh is the only one for the moment, I guess it will be enough to help with the leveling.
[blizzquote="Drysc;http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=2288089977&postId=22876446239&sid=1#2]Hrm, I believe there may have been mention of a few other zones we would like to look at polishing up, but for now we have no announced plans for future zone revisions outside of Dustwallow Marsh in 2.3.[/blizzquote"]
Gnomeregan on the list too
Gnomeregan level range has been retuned too, but by now I think we all understood that they retuned every single Pre-BC dungeon.
[blizzquote="Bornakk;http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=2288079921&postId=22877844548&sid=1#1]If by "fix" you mean refocusing the dungeon to fit a smaller level range like the example we gave for Shadowfang Keep, then yes, Gnomeregan is on the list too.[/blizzquote"]
